The Children’s Home by Charles Lambert


Once or twice in a reader’s life, they may be lucky enough to come across a novel that is at once beautiful and horrifying. Charles Lambert’s debut is one such book. Overflowing with stunning prose that will leave you hungry for more, and yet, with a plot so gruesome you will be afraid to continue reading, The Children’s Home is unlike anything you’ve read before. Not quite a thriller, not quite a stream-ofconsciousness story, the only way to grasp the scope of this novel is to experience it for yourself.
